WTF Hosting

WTF Hosting

A certain hosting company whose first part of their name starts with an alias for earth and last part is mark... can't think of a good synonym. They are owned by a large communications company whose name starts with a V... many of you have cell phone service with them.

Any way, not being a lamp expert or even a server admin and having a consultant do a hand over and leave before my first push, I thought to myself, hey I better make a back up of Production before I do anything. As expected, I fuck things up, but it's okay because I start up my back up, configure the ip, and bam, everything is golden. FYI, we are not live yet.

Time to mess around again, but before I do, better make a copy. WELL the copy option is now grayed out!

I call support, the first drone has no idea what is going on, I hear him ask his associate if he can trade. I get transfered, say hello, here a response say hi. No further conversation, so I assume the guy is fixing my issue. After about 20 minutes I ask, "So what's going on with my issue?"

The reponse, "I don't know. My tickets are not being answered."

"I don't give a fuck about your tickets, fix my problem."

"Wait, is this WTF Hosting?"

"No but I'm on the phone with WTF Hosting... we both better call back."

Call back, this time the guy is at least cemi-competant. After a few minutes he says, "Well you should of messed with the copy not the original."

FUCK YOU ASSHOLE! There was no message saying that. And it's a god damn digital copy so they are supposed to be identical, why would it freaking matter?!

Re: WTF Hosting

Sure I have. However, you might consider a different approach in the future with your hyperbole. Maybe try one that doesn't make you look like an abusive fool.

Perhaps I should; but you must be able to understand my frustration. My company pays a large sum of money for hosting and yet this issue is still not fixed. Additionally, before I begged to be sent to teir two; they gave me the run around several more times, tried to get me to delete my servers, and resorted to openly mocking me.

So my apologies for venting my rage at no one in particular on this forum instead of at the people who caused it or one of my coworkers; I now clearly see that it was a mistake.

Ok. I guess I found TRWTF.

Untill you can write that first part of the sentence in the past tense, you should try to stop being TRWTF, instead of just making your hair suffer.

Re: WTF Hosting

“The whole modern world has divided itself into Conservatives and Progressives. The business of Progressives is to go on making mistakes. The business of Conservatives is to prevent mistakes from being corrected. Even when the revolutionist might himself repent of his revolution, the traditionalist is already defending it as part of his tradition. Thus we have two great types -- the advanced person who rushes us into ruin, and the retrospective person who admires the ruins. He admires them especially by moonlight, not to say moonshine. Each new blunder of the progressive or prig becomes instantly a legend of immemorial antiquity for the snob. This is called the balance, or mutual check, in our Constitution.”
